I have run a tail -f /var/log/messages in another window to be sure. :) If you've tried the command recently and no new lines appeared in your messages, then the cat is not related to the error messages. > However, I have tried 'mplayer -cache 8192 /dev/cxm0' and that cures the playback problem, AFAICT. Ah, I'll have to try the cache option. Do you really need 8 MB of cache for it to work correctly? What's the minimum cache amount before mplayer starts having the seek failure? So far you've proved exactly what I was saying before. > > Another question-- what's your processor type & speed and how much > > RAM does the machine have? > > CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (1790.84-MHz K8-class CPU) > real memory = 1072627712 (1022 MB) > avail memory = 1022713856 (975 MB) I think the dmesg errors you pasted before have nothing to do with the seek problem. -- Rick C.
